Uprising will be available as an add-on in the Hero Realms pledge manager.Hero Realms ships in 2 separate waves. One estimated for October and the other in January. The question is, which wave will Uprising be delivered in? and will backers get to see the expansion before retail?

A date has not yet been chosen. It will be the same size as Tyrants. Nothing more I can say, really.

Does size imply card pool size? So 48 cards?Does size imply packaging as well or will you opt for more customer-friendly packaging and pricing? (It is not like I have a personal problem, however I cannot gift away dozens of Epic boxes, not because the game is expensive but because the expansions are. I did order 5x4 expansions only to realize that the vendor did an error and sold them missleading as a 4 packages for the price of 1... and then canceled all but one set and didn't spread the game through my friends because of the price of expansions)

I believe that it is yes to both questions. 48 cards in four boosters.

Yeah, I extensively discussed the pricing model with WWG when Tyrants was first announced (at the time, I was still playing Epic constructed, but at 50-60€ for a small expansion, I couldn't justify it). I ended up not getting Tyrants. I guess I won't be getting this, either. I am still hoping for a big box expansion, though.

That's cool it's up for preorder. My question is, should I do that, or buy it via the Hero Realms kickstarter that should be coming in theory? Will it be cheaper or easier to get? Which one? When will we find out?

Same.

Hero Realms backers will receive their rewards in 2 waves – the first wave is estimated for October (a month before Cool Stuff's estimate) and the final wave is estimated for January (2 months after Cool Stuff's estimate). Either way, you WILL pay more by going though the Hero Realms KS, but backers may see the expansion a month earlier than everyone else.Keep in mind that these are all estimates. Lots can and probably will change.

I'd imagine an update from WWG outlining which items will ship in each wave before the Hero Realms pledge manager launches.

Epic Card Game is getting a small four-pack expansion in November, entitled Epic Uprising. Each pack comes with 12 new Epic cards and a double-sided token, featuring powerful new Champions and Events. All four packs have MSRP $4.99 each.
